It's one up and one down for
Coach Cliff Keen and his Wol-
verine wrestling squad, by virtue
of a 30-0 rout over Ohio Uni-
versity yesterday afternoon at
Yost Field House, in its first meet
of the 1948 season.
The Maize and Blue matmen
had a field-day, racking up eight
wins out of the same number ofj
bouts. The affair featured three
falls by the Wolverines, and num-
erous near-falls as they out-
classed Coach Thor Olson's Bob-
cats in nearly every division.
Fine Performance
Sparked by the outstanding
performances of Capt. Bob Bet-
zig, Hugh Mack, Ed Grimes, and
George Curtis, the Michigan
grappiers gave notice to their
Conference opposition that they
will be a powerful contender for
the Big Nine championship this
season.
In the feature bout of the af-
ternoon, Betzig completely out-
classed George Rizer, in the 165-
pound division, by pinning his
opponent in 2 minutes and 33
seconds of the first period.
Bruising Battle
The opening period of the 155-
pound tilt was a bruising battle,
but, George Curtis went on to
fell his Bobcat adversary, Pete
Puhar, in the third stanza.
The last fall came when 175-

pound Hugh Mack met 210-pound
Fred Hall in the heavyweight di-
vision. Completely outweighed.
Mack, nevertheless startled the
crowd by pinning the beefy Bob-
cat in 29 seconds of the last per-
iod.
The hardest-fought tilt came
when Ed Grimes grappled with
Ohio Captain John Kulzinka for
145-pound honors. The match
ended in a close 4-3 victory for
the Wolverine, but only after a
two period overtime resulting
from a 2-2 tie at the end of the
regular bout.
Other Results
In the 121-pound division John
Keller of Michigan nosed out Al-
vin Vincent 8-5, acquiring a near-
fall in the third period.
Wolverine Bob Johnson over-
powered his Bobcat adversary 4-0
for 128 pound laurels, going score-
less in the first two periods.
Jim Smith turned in a fine per-
formance in the 136 pound class,
scoring a decisive 7-2 victory over
opponent Bill Stomps. In the 175
pound division Wesley Tebeau'
out-scored Ohioan Co-captain Ed
Zednik, in a rough and tumble
affair which saw Tebeau count on
two near falls.
Michigan's next scheduled ap-
pearance will be on Jan. 17 against
the defending Big Nine champ-
ions, Illinois, at Champaign.

Greer Paces 5-2 Victory
Over N. Dakota Skaters
Tempers Fly in Last Frame as Wolverines
Even Two-Game Series with Nodak Sextet
By B. S. BROWN
Striking three times in the first period, a vengeful Michigan
sextet out-slugged the skaters of the University of North Dakota last
night at the Coliseum, 5-2, in the roughest match of the current
campaign, before 1,300 wildly cheering fans.
After grabbing a 3-1 lead in the initial stanza, the Wolverines
coasted to victory, picking up one more tally in each of the following
periods. The third period saw tempers run amok and fists fly, but
the brief flare-ups were quickly quenched by the referees.
Greer Leads Way
Ted Greer took scoring honors for the evening tallying the pair

of goals in the final two periods,
the last one a brilliant 20-footer.
Gordie McMillan continued asj
Michigan's high scoring ace as he
picked up one goal.
Vic Heyliger's pucksters broke
into the scoring column at 4:121
of the first frame when Al Ren-I
frew took a pass from Connie Hill
just to the right of the- crease and
sent the disc flying past Nodak
goalie Bob Murray.
Tight Defense
The visitors settled down to a
tight defense and warded off rush
after rush by the Wolverine first
and second lines until midway in
the period when Bob Marshall
grabbed a perfect flip from Bill
Jacobson just over the blue line
and shot a sizzling 30-foot drive
into the North Dakota netting at
11:07.
Wes Cole and Jim Doyle teamed
up for the first Nodak score at
16:48 of the first period to bring
their team back into the running.
Michigan Roars Back

later displaying a passing attack

TWO PERFECT COMBINATIONS-Michigan's Bob Chappuis,
who made use of the thrown pigskin in reaching fame, hands his
valuable pitching paw to Charlie McCarthy, who has been using
the thrown voice with great success in recent years. Charlie is
perched on Fritz Crisler's knee while Edgar Bergen smilingly
looks on. The picture was snapped in Hollywood preceding the

NO CHANGES IN SIGHT:
Coaches Satisfied with Gridiron Rules

0-

For the time being, anyhow,
there will be no changes made in
college football.

That was the verdict handed
down this week by the rules com-
mittee of the National Assn. of
Football Coaches, which is gath-
ering concurrently with the NCAA
in New York.
Status Quo
The coaches rejected sugges-
tions for major changes. They
aren't going to eliminate the
point after touchdown, or change
the free substitution rule or even
the rule prohibiting running with
a recovered fumble. They are in-
Wcnt upon keeping hands off the
present rules, with one or two
minor exceptions, such as the
kick-off rule.
However, the coaches are tak-
ing a step toward greater pro-
tection for the players by recom-
mending that equipment be made
with fewer "rocks."
Recommendations Made
Columbia's Lou Little, speak-
ing for the committee, announced
that it has recommended that "by
1950 we have equipment so man-
ufactured as to do away with un-
yielding material."
"Tle protective equipment is
too hard and unyielding," Little

"As far as the helmets are con- in extra - husky

greater use of foam rubber and

answer._a_
